I ground up some moose in this small grinder I've used for years and made chili today. Hadn't had any in months sure was hungry for it too, wifey don't cook some things like chili & liver & onions, ect. But the halupki is fantastic and she usually makes 2 crock pots and we eat it for at least a week.

I threw another chicken in the rotisserie last night. Marinated it in lemon juice, garlic, and some Tony Chachere Creole seasoning. It went well with the vegetable medley I threw together, mini corn on the cob, snow beans, yellow squash, broccoli florets, cauliflower, carrots, and some red, and green bell peppers (all steamed). Washed it down with some fresh sassafras tea!

Really, I never did that before and saw it on a few BBQ pages I searched for some advice. I just told my wife I should have come here first as I remembered several members are quite distinguished Grill Masters and are also Southern. I hope I pass the test so I am allowed to move to North Carolina in two years when I retire LOL.

and you got your work cut out for ya movin to NC and proclaiming good pork BBQ, NC is to pulled pork what TX is to briskets.

A pretty big part of the secret to 'slap yo mamma good BBQ' is a good sauce. IMO, the sauce has to be good enough to drink. I really really like the taste of KC Masterpiece Original, but the big problem with commercial sauces is they are all far too thick and have too much sugar in them which causes them to want to burn and carmelize too quickly. A little 'no sugar added' apple juice is the perfect way to make KC into the perfect sauce. Cut it at least 50/50 and bring it to a boil. It is good enough to drink..

Actually I do have some Slap Yo Mama sauce in cabinet. I also like hot sauces etc and I order from Carolina Sauce Co on the net. I like their price shipping and they also have a thing where you donate any amount you want and they match it and send hot sauces, BBQ sauces condiments etc in bottles and gift sets over to our soldiers overseas.

I would never go down there and challenge anyone. I merely aim to be accepted.

If you get a kankerin for some good hot BBQ sauce heres an easy recipe..

Get a handful of fresh hot chile peppers.
My deadly combination is a 5/5/5 sauce. I place 5 Jalapenos, 5 serranos, and 5 habaneros all in a pile on the smoker. I usually just pile them on top of whatever meat im cookin in there and smoke them until they are soft. usually takes about 2 hours and that pan of water needs to be in there. Then pull them and take the stems off and put the whole peppers in the blender all together. Puree them until the seeds are even thoroughly chopped up and mix them into your favorite BBQ sauce, you may need to add a bit of sauce to the puree to get it thin enough to blend thoroughly. It is killer BBQ sauce that is equally as good as it is hot.
